Well,
I've finally started to work in earnest on a personal site. It is a
work in progress. I'm trying to keep it simple and clean -- unlike
my office.

I'm quite busy this fall. I'm teaching
two sections of Business Information Systems, one section of Intro
to Business Microcomputing, a section of Survey of Information
Systems and a section of a new course -- E-commerce.

I am the primary investigator for a Stay
and Invent PA Grant and am currently mapping out a project to bring middle
school students onto our campus later in the fall to take part in four days of
intensive technology training.

Two of my MIS students, Don Kemick and
Jeremy Callinan are doing some very interesting research in the area
of steganography. I'm providing some guidance but they need very little of
it. The latest draft of their paper can be found
here. Jeremy and Donny will be
presenting their paper at the Penn-York undergraduate research conference
in November hosted by my alma mater -- Canisius College. UPDATE:
Jeremy and Donny's presentation was voted best oral presentation at
the conference!!!!

I am mentoring three other MIS students
-- Amy Ward, Barry Larson and Kyle Burgess are doing website work and
training for Evergreen Elm -- a local non-profit agency. We'll see
how their website evolves.

Professor Tim Ziaukas and I
have started our work and research on the Internet and the
2004 election. We have started to do
weekly captures of
the democratic candidates' sites and since President Bush has recently
announced his bid for re-election, we'll be adding his site also.
